| Characteristics | |
| Atrosalarias fuscus (Brown Combtooth Blenny) are temperate and a rapid move to a tropical aquarium can kill them. Bad water quality can harm their protective mucus on their slimy body. They are found of digging and will like a bottom with mixed size rubble and gravel. Place rocks and coral in the aquarium. Brown Combtooth Blenny jumps well so the aquarium must be covered. | |
